Another Sunny Weekend

Gus' first time playing at the park today! We stopped by during our walk around the neighborhood.

He seemed to have fun, but was very interested in watching the bigger kids playing.

Riding his scooter this morning. It is so cute. He plays with the steering wheel, ignition and other little buttons like he is really trying to drive.

Getting ready for bed on Friday night.

Buster was also pretty tired and ready for bed.

Gus loved when daddy would 'zoom' him around the living room on his scooter. He constantly looked like he was going to fall off, but was able to hang of for dear life.

Trying to walk with his little scooter. He doesn't have much for balance yet so it gets going ahead of him just a little too quickly for now. He likes to sit on it though, and scoot backwards (yes, it's not only crawling; he apparently even refuses to go forward on toys!).

Sitting in the grass in the front yard on Friday afternoon.

Loving the warm weather.

Yep, this wall's pretty sturdy!

He kept trying to reach over and play in the mulch.

It is just crazy to have such nice weather in February! It will get cold again soon, I am sure, but the last few days in KC have been record breaking. Just beautiful. I hear that, for those of you in Iowa, you have had much warmer than usual weather as well.

We enjoyed the nice weather by grilling last night, and we plan to grill again this evening when Josh gets off work. Gus and I have been enjoying the last few days by spending as much time as possible outside. He still has a relentless little cold, but I think the fresh air is good for him.

Tomorrow we plan to keep moving ahead on the basement. We are going to buy more mud, tape and a few other things, and I am going to start helping out more down there. Josh hates to work on it alone, and even thought I have no idea what I am doing, I am willing to learn. Hopefully this Spring we can get it done. No- not hopefully. We will. Our tax return is already earmarked for the basement :)

Gus goes to the doctor on Thursday morning for his 9 month well baby check up. I am anxious to see how much he weighs, and to find out a little bit about baby vitamins, as he isn't taking as many bottles as he used to and I just want to be certain he is getting all the nutrients he needs from baby/table food.
